“Night and wine are poor judges of beauty.” In The Art of Love, Ovid gives a practical warning: at a banquet, by lamplight and after a few cups, everyone looks wonderful – so judge a face by daylight. Even Paris, he reminds his readers, chose between the goddesses under an open sky. Here a woman’s face appears in the bowl of a wine glass, softly distorted by glass and wine.
